He pulled me in front of him, and I felt like I was like facing Satan himself. He leaned in closer to me, his face was so close to mine that if I moved, we would bump heads. I gulped as I looked at him with my wide eyes, scared of what he might do.
āWeāll have a little chat together soon, okay?ā I couldnāt talk, I just stared at him wide-eyed while my heart was beating like crazy. I can only hope it was not mine he was after.

She shoved me again. Harder.
"Maybe if you weren't such a desperate littleā"

Warmth trickled down my neck. Blood.

After One Night with the Alpha

One Night. One Mistake. One Lifetime of Consequences.
I thought I was waiting for love. Instead, I got fucked by a beast.
My world was supposed to bloom at the Moonshade Bay Full Moon Festivalāchampagne buzzing in my veins, a hotel room booked for Jason and me to finally cross that line after two years. Iād slipped into lacy lingerie, left the door unlocked, and lay on the bed, heart pounding with nervous excitement.
But the man who climbed into my bed wasnāt Jason.
In the pitch-black room, drowned in a heady, spicy scent that made my head spin, I felt handsāurgent, scorchingāsearing my skin. His thick, pulsing cock pressed against my dripping cunt, and before I could gasp, he thrust hard, tearing through my innocence with ruthless force. Pain burned, my walls clenching as I clawed at his iron shoulders, stifling sobs. Wet, slick sounds echoed with every brutal stroke, his body unrelenting until he shuddered, spilling hot and deep inside me.
"That was amazing, Jason," I managed to say.
"Who the fuck is Jason?"
My blood turned to ice. Light slashed across his faceāBrad Rayne, Alpha of Moonshade Pack, a werewolf, not my boyfriend. Horror choked me as I realized what Iād done.
I ran away for my life!
But weeks later, I woke up pregnant with his heir!
They say my heterochromatic eyes mark me as a rare true mate. But Iām no wolf. Iām just Elle, a nobody from the human district, now trapped in Brad's world.
Bradās cold gaze pins me: āYou carry my blood. Youāre mine.ā
There is no other choice for me but to chose this cage. My body also betrays me, craving the beast who ruined me.

"Kara." Coleās voice drops. "Are youādid I hurt you?"
"No." "I'm fine."
"Fuck," he breathes. "You'reā"
"Don't." My voice cracks. "Please don't say it."
"Aroused." He says it anyway. "You're aroused."
"I'm notā"
"Your scent." His nostrils flare. "Kara, you smell likeā"
"Stop." I cover my face with my hands. "Justāstop."
Then his hand on my wrist, pulling my hands away.
"There's nothing wrong with wanting us," he says softly. "It's natural. You're our mate. We're yours."
"I know." My voice is barely a whisper.
I spent ten years as a ghost in the Sterling mansionāa debt slave to the triplet Alphas who made my life hell. They called me "Carrot," shoved me into frozen rivers, and left me to die in the snow when I was eleven.
On my eighteenth birthday, everything changed. My first shift released a scent of white musk and first snowāand three former tormentors stood outside my door, claiming I was their fated mate. All three of them.
Overnight, the debt vanished. Asher's commands turned to vows, Blake's fists became trembling apologies, and Cole swore they'd been waiting for me all along. They declared me their Luna and promised to spend their lives atoning.
My wolf howls to accept them. But one question haunts me:
Would that eleven-year-old girl, freezing and certain she would die, forgive the choice I'm about to make?
"No." "I'm fine."
